Mr. !Chairman and gentlemen of the committee. this appropriation is somewhat different than many other appropriations that are carried in this bill. The Immigration. Service has spent $10.000.000 .less than has been obtained from: those who enter this country by virtue of the head tax. Now. clearly the committee should not desire to hamper the Immigration Service and the splendid work they have been -doing. It is serious not only on the Canadian -border but on the Mexican border in particular. It was my privilege to have met the collector of the port of San Francisco yesterday and again this morning in regard to the smuggling of opium.
